History and boundaries

The constituency was created under the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2005 when the previous 5-seat Meath constituency was divided into two 3-seat constituencies of Meath East and Meath West. It was first used at the 2007 general election to the 30th Dáil. The town of Kells was moved to Meath East at the 2011 general election. The part of County Westmeath in the constituency was moved to Longford–Westmeath at the 2024 general election. It spans the western portions of County Meath, including the towns of Trim and Navan.
